We have chosen to call our project Changing roles: through Democracy to competent schools. This is because we focus the students ability to manage their own learning. Through involving the students in assesment of classes and their own results and in choosing methodology, the teachers will develope their competence and develope the teaching profession. Participating in all parts of a persons life is a right and a duty in developing of Democrasy. Through involving students in their education, we also train them to take responsibility in their developement as citizens. When this happens through International cooperation and with an European perspective, they will develope their ability to see themselves as European Citizens. Working through our needanalysis we find that both schools wanted to develope a more inclusive, diverse and interdiciplinary methodology with a content which the students finds relevant and which i appropriate for the labour market. We experienced that we have the same needs, but not for the same reasons. From this reason we are sure that we can learn from each other in addition to develope new practise together. Entrepreneurship is the collective term we used to ensure unity and coherence choosing methodology we want to try out through our project. As a part of this we have highlighted:Equal learning - students teaching students. The student will get tasks they have to present for the other students and plan how their fellow students shall use the presentation.Flipped classrom - The teacher digitalize his/her lesson. The student watch this as a part of preparing for the lesson. In lesson the student works on what they find difficult and need to understand better. Cooperative learning - learning together. This will especially be used when developing a product. Projectbased learning - entrepreneurship is a focus in this project and we will use this methodology in creating simulated minicompanies who are set for export. They will represent each other in their own country in order to experience the role as an importer- Change of roles - Improvement based on feedback. The student are involved in choosing methodology and the assessment of the lesson and their own work and benefit of the lessons. The teachers then decide how they can improve their lessons. The lessons will be documented through videos with netbooks which are tried out in the partnerschool and assested in a transnational meeting. In addition to that we will develope a booklet on International Trade, which can be a part of a teaching program. Both the videos and the booklet will be an important tool in dissemination of results in ours schools, regions and towards our cooperation companies. They will be important in ensuring the sustainability in the results. Our experience will be a part of the schools curriculum, not just in the targeted subjects but in the school at such. We have already decided that the cooperation between our schools will be continued, because it is objects we don't can reach in two years. We want to involve compeanies, their organizations and schools from other countries. Since this is the first K2-project, we have chosen to link to us a experienced partner in Centro de Profesorado de Jaen. To ensure the learning effects from establish and manage such projects we have chosen a model with a common focus group managing the project. This group is rooted in the schools managment and have necessary frequent meetings
